I HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT AGUSTOFWIND HAS IN FACT DELETED ALL OF THEIR FICS INCLUDING BAD BAD NEWS NOW I DO HAVE THAT DOWNLOADED TO GOODGLE DRIVE DM ME FOR LINK

READ DOWN PLEASE 👇👇👇👇

i dont have zero cycle or smt like that bc im not one for au much so i never downloaded it

additionally i have become aware of WHAT in fact happened to the author for them to delete their account. this is absolutely horrid, first rule of rpf, it should be kept inside the fandom. the people involved in the ship or such should not be aware of this. and for people to bring up zero cycle in oscars comments on him posting? absolutely ridiculous. statistically speaking, he has read some comments mentioning or referencing the fic, as much as i love landoscar and as much as i DO think theres smt between them, we keep this INSIDE tumblr, INSIDE ao3 and INSIDE even wattpad. both lando and oscar are simply doing what they love, driving, and they shouldnt have to be reminded about what comes with the fame. the whole thing about sexualizing thim and making them aware of it is terrible. ALSO WHY WAS THE AUTHOR GETTING LITERAL DEATH THREATS?? it isnt their fault that pne day they decided that they enjoyed writing and wanted to craft a story featuring two of their favorite celebrities. it isnt their fault that some of the reader have breached the basic rules of rpf in the first place. also bad bad news does have heavy smut? we shouldnt let them know that their own bodies are being talked about in this sense. okay im not against smut, ill read smut from time to time but no one should find out about this beyond the fandom.

similar situation with the national anthem ferrari thing. mind you the fic shown to lewis was explicit and brocedes, they shouldnt know these things. nobody deserves to know theyre being sexualized like this. thats completely of the admin that showed it to them.

also the author of zero cycle deleted their tumblr as well?? this is NOT OKAY. i stand with agustofwind.

stick to rpf etiquette my god i dont think its that hard.

[cal3ris]

is this gonna get me fired you think

I hadn’t got to read zero cycle yet, but I’m so not surprised it’s gone after seeing people talk about it everywhere, including in Oscar’s bloody TikTok comments!

There’s a reason us RPF authors put disclaimers on for our fics not to be shared. Fanfiction belongs strictly in fandom spaces and that means on here, private discord servers, and AO3. We do not talk about them on public social media where they will be seen by the people they’re about! It doesn’t matter if you’re an anonymous account on those platforms, you’re drawing attention in the wrong places and it’s not okay!

I truly miss when fanfiction was a secret thing that nobody talked about.

Fanfic etiquette is so so important, but especially RPF!

With Rose (the author of Zero Cycle) announcing that she is taking down her fics and stepping away from the internet I think it's important to remind everyone about fandom etiquette.

This situation is not exclusive to rpf. I have watched this happen in pretty much every single major fandom. Klance Byler Mcyt, ect, they have all had a fic go extremely viral which then results in a downward spiral where fandom etiquette is thrown out the window and the author inevitably ends up pulling their fic from the internet and stepping away all together.

To be honest with you I am not surprised that this has happened again. I have been noticing for a while that the way people have been treating Rose and her fics has been absolutely terrible. Even people who were well meaning let their excitement about her fics cloud their judgement and cause them to be quite rude to her and disrespectful of fandom and rpf etiquette.

Therefore I would like to give some reminders to everyone about fandom etiquette. Because it's not just "keep all rpf discussion to ao3 and tumblr." those are important and those rules being broken certainly played a role in this particular scenario, but there's a lot more to it then that and as a fan you need to be more aware of how you interact with content.

Authors are not celebrities. They did not sign up for having an audience to deliver things to. They are fellow fans and creatives who are passionate about what they do. Because of this, I urge you, no matter how good a fic is, no matter how much you love it, you cannot treat it like a grand monolith for the fandom. When that happens the fic gets pulled out of its intended context and the author will inevitably be put under extreme strain and scrutiny. If you love a fic the best thing you can do for it is keep your interactions with and discussion of it purely to the ao3 comments and the authors askbox. I understand that creating a separate fandom for someone's works is done out of love and admiration but I have never ever seen it end well. When you create a fandom for a fic you are inviting typical fandom problems in and pushing them onto an author who did not ask for this.

You also need to stop treating authors like they are gods or something. I know this is usually done with the intentions of being complimentary. But an author is a real human being who deserves compassion and kindness. When you treat them like something to be worshipped you are inevitably dehumanizing them and making people feel more comfortable saying horrific shit to them or just generally being disrespectful. While it is also bad to get too parasocial and act like an author is your close personal friend, going towards the other extreme is also harmful. It is also just uncomfortable in general to have people act like you are not just a normal average person existing in the world. Authors are amazingly talented of course and that should be appreciated, but that does not rank above the fact that they are a normal person who would just like to interact online like anyone else.

The most important thing to remember is respect above all else. Because authors are human beings who deserve it. Being talented at something should not exclude them from that right. I ask that you take the time to reflect on the way you talk to/about authors and double check that you aren't accidentally forgetting about that.

Also last reminder for this particular situation. Do not complain about Rose taking down her fics. She does not owe you anything. You do not get to be upset that someone who has had their boundaries crossed over and over again and has been repeatedly disrespected has taken steps that are in her best interest. You are not the victim in this situation, do not act like it.
